In my opinion laptops should be banned. They can allow people to use tablets with stylus inputs though.

Keep in mind the eyes use more energy than the ears. Once you get glued on that display, your attention shifts. Besides, I don’t think it is possible to type faster than the way we write. I can type pretty fast and write super fast too and in great handwriting.

So for note taking then I prefer students to use tablets with stylus inputs to take notes. Carrying a whole laptop in class is bound to be destructive when it comes to learning.
